Sport in initial training in Physical Education at the National University of La Plata. An analysis of their incorporation into two curricula (1982-1986)

Abstract

In this article we propose to analyze what were the enrolments and conceptions about sport present in the physical education training of the National University of La Plata in the period 1982-1986. We focus on two curricular proposals, the “1982 plan” and the “1984 plan”.  Separated by a short period of time, they express different disciplinary and institutional processes. To study this we will analyse the files, programmes and programmes of the subjects where sports knowledge is expressed. The analysis shows the continuity of certain approaches that thought of sport as an “agent” of physical education, although differences are visible in the conceptual frameworks on which it was based.
